With everything that's been going on the past three weeks between doing a quick trip to Idaho, having family around, going home to Oregon, and even problems with cars and school, it has been difficult to get any flight time in at all! Thankfully, that all changed today as a lot of little issues I've been having to put up with finally died down and I was finally able to schedule a flight again today. Since it's been nearly three weeks since I last flew, I requested that today's flight be a bit of refresher flight to get comfortable again with the airplane. So I met with my instructor and we did some ground work together while waiting for the airplane I scheduled to become available. Once we got access to the plane, I went ahead and conducted the usual business of getting pre-flight done and then we hopped in, started up, did our run-ups, taxied to the runway, and took off.

Once airborne, I turned the plane southbound and kept it 1,000 feet above the ground; we were going to start with some ground-reference maneuvers. My instructor had me start off with some turns around a point. We then gained some altitude and did some stalls, steep turns, recovery from unusual attitudes, slow flight, and simulated emergencies before heading back to Spanish Fork, where my instructor had me perform a short-field landing followed by a soft field takeoff before doing another quick lap in the pattern and making a full-stop landing and calling a flight well-done.
Slowly but surely, I'm gaining back my confidence I've lost at UVU...
